RECEIVING TRAY DEVICE USED FOR SORTING MACHINE OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To measure the weights of agricultural products by each of receiving trays and to enable assortment by weight classification by constituting the device in such a manner that the weights of the agricultural products and the receiving trays are measured when the gliding surfaces of receiving tray bodies face the measurement rails of an electronic balance and that the receiving trays are tilted laterally when engaging hooks are released in a prescribed position. SOLUTION: A conveyor chain 31 travels and rotates and when the receiving tray 100 held horizontal by a supporting body 2 detained to the engaging hook 301 of a bracket 300 mounted at a chain link 32 arrives at the position of the electronic balance 4, the gliding surface 107 disposed below the receiving tray body 101 rises on the measurement rails 401. As a result, the receiving tray body 101 floats from the supporting body 2 and the exact weight can be measured with the electronic balance 4. The interlocking relation of the supporting body 2 and the receiving tray 100 allows the adoption of various forms for the relation between, for example, the bracket 300 and the supporting body 2 in the case of the device having the mechanism capable of discharging the agricultural products by engaging both to maintain the horizontal state of the bracket or releasing both to laterally tilt the receiving tray.
